Fehmid­a Mirza believ­es cultur­al diplom­acy can help improv­e relati­onsISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Inter Provincial Coordination (IPC) Dr Fehmida Mirza Wednesday said the self-centered ego of India had been damaging spirit of sports in the region. She said this in pretext to the Indian government’s refusal to give visas to Pakistani players for participation in competitions there. “The environment that is being created in India against Pakistani athletes and artists is totally unacceptable and disappointing,” she said. She further said that the international community was looking towards Pakistan as an important country for its role to attain sustainable peace in the region. However, Mirza said sports and cultural diplomacy could help in improving Pakistan-India relations as peace was very important in the region.
